House will not endorse GERD until Egypt’s share of Nile water is secure

House will not endorse GERD until Egypt’s share of Nile water is secure: Leading MPs said yesterday they would refrain from voting on the 2015 agreement on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) until Egypt’s share of the Nile water is secured in writing, African Affairs Committee deputy Maged Abo El Kheir tells Al Mal. Discussions over GERD had reached a stalemate earlier this week, but El Sisi is expected to meet with Ethiopia’s prime minister in Cairo in December to attempt a work-around the impasse.
